I may try to convert the idea to GURPS. I'm not familiar enough with the rules yet to figure out how some of their racial traits would translate. In particular, they have an ability called Pack Fervor which gives them bonuses during combat when they are within a certain distance of others of their race.
Probably just DX+1 or something with the Accessibility (Only When Near Own Race, -30%.) You can use whatever stats are best for representing their bonus.

When converting races from other systems, be very careful not to over-do the stats. For instance, if a race is really intelligent, giving it IQ+5 is probably not appropriate. A bonus of +1 to +3 is probably the best. Be especially careful with the HT stat. Penalties to HT can be debilitating, but having them really high is hard to justify.
